What the Papers Have To Say on The Condition of Affairs--Not All Sanguine as to The Result ~Delarey in no Mood to Sur- render. London, March 24.--Peace is again in the air. Last night west end clubs were greatly excited by the news that Mr. Schalkenberger, the | Boers' acting president, with secretary Reitz and commandants Lucas Meyer and Krogh, had come into Pretoria under a fag of truce and had had an interview with Jord Kitchener at his headquarters there, afterwards leav- ing for Kroonstad, Orange River Col- ony, from which place they will go out under safe conduct. Mr. Schalk- enberger, and his companions, it ap- had been stationed at Rhenos north of Balmoral, for the mst week. The Boer acting president i been, when there, greatly harriea hy Col. Park and other British com- mandoes, and on one occasion he had a narrow escape from being captured. The Boer position being increasingly hopeless, despatch riders were sent into Balmoral, Friday night, intima- ting that the delegates woulda arrive there. Possibly the government will throw some light on the situation in the house of commons to-day. The Daily Telegraph deduces that negotiations for peace are afoot, the initiative coming from the Boers, but the mission of the delegates may after all be of less importance, such as the treatment of prisoners. The pa- per notes that Gen. Botha holds him- sell aloof, ana says that Gen. Dewet is likely to feel himseli bouna by the conditions which may be proposed. (len. Delarey flushed with success, is not in a mood to consider surrender. On the whole, however, the Telegraph considers the incident as inspiring a certain amount of sanguine expecta ter Kop, J ton, The Chronicle is also says that the more representative body, unless included Gen. Botha, but it points out that commandant Meyer 1s Bo tha's most intimate friend. The Daily Mail considers mission can be interpreted only as making advance for peace; otherwise the news would have been permitted to come through. The Express considers that peace ne gotiations can be the only objest of the mission, but it is not so confident as to the result. Times says that if the object of the mission is to negotiate for peace it does not necessarily follow that or- ganized resistance in the Transvaal, not to mention the test of South Af- rica, will be at an end. A despatch to the Standard, from Brussels, says that Dr. Leyds, the di plomatic agent of the Boers, is about to organize an international demon stration by American and continental sympathizers on the day king Edward in crowned. All pro-Boer societies will be asked to display the flags of the Transvaal and Orange Free State and telegraph to Mr. Kruger, The des patch adds, that it is doubtless true that the Transvaal legation has. for several months, been receiving regu- lar reports from South Africa, pro- bably by way of Lorenzo Marques. One of the last despatches from act- ing president Schalkenberger states that the Boer losses from October Ist, 1900 to October lst, 1901, were 400 killed and 700 wounded. No mention is made of prisoners. hopeful. Tt mission could not be a it that the Arrest Of Frenchmen. Paris, March 24.--In the chamber of deputies the foreign minister replying to que wtions regarding Frenchmen cap- ture, by the British while fighting for the Boers, said : "Some of the prisoners were arrest- i at Johannesburg under the pretext that they were engaged in certain in trigues. We consider a prisoner of war can only be taken on the field of battle. But Great Britain does not accept this view. There is only one French prisoner of this category, how ever, who has not been released, and strong offorts are being made to se cure his liberation. State Of The Ice.
